You know I will be the last person to judge this man because the last incident I had in Jamaica with driving a lady bad driving me to enter a business place and when I decided not to answer her cussing me and simple say you’re a demon the lady spit in my face and let me tell you this much nothing else in the world matters to me at the time. Unfortunate for her she never knew I drove with a matchet that I use on a farm and by the time she park a me day with the cutless ready to chop up the car . Mad like shad .some people hold me tight and beg me dnt get yourself in trouble them take away the cutlass I reach back to the car for a piece of iron . When them see me them sey this woman spit on a mad woman and dnt know if she had a gun this woman died. The police man hold me tight and I beat his hands to let me go him say I cnt let you go you ago put yourself in a problem. When this radio car came and saw my rage they assume mis lady was very right until the inspector say the eye witness them talk what happened and how dare she spit I n my face and him no know what him would a do.. some people was like let her go mek she f her up..man when I came to my senses was when I went by the school to pick up my son and as I saw him I felt my knees weak it just dawned on me that I could have lost my way. The next day I went back to look for the man who held me tight when I reach a bundle of people around him listening to him telling the story then he said see her dey . People thought I was his woman and him a cheat and him a beat him hands to let me go. lol people always thinking of a story because they could not understand why he held me so tight . Man I shake that man hand and hug him and tell him thanks for holding me yesterday. From that day when I’m driving Bredda if the light turn green I wait 4 seconds for whoever wants to run the red we at a 4 way you go. If your wrong take the right . I’m done getting in problem with people I dnt know. It’s a difficult call and people will chat this and that but jah If them press the right button you will flip
